K.C.: *eyes widen as she sees there is yet another dare which she had forgotten to archive* Guys! Over here! We have another dare which we forgot to do! *is waving them over and frowns at their leisurely pace* Hurry up! *groans and proceeds to stand up and hold the two birds by the wings and drag them to a small corner where they do their dares*

Freddy: *uses his long neck and rests it on the koala's shoulder as he peers at the Fly Pad* It's also from @RebekahtheHedgehog

Pip: *also looking over the koala's shoulder, but with a little more difficulty* It says... *starts reading from the Fly Pad* I dare Pip, Freddy and K.C. to listen to Mr. Parr's Chemical Compounds song to learn some science and see if they can get it stuck in their heads

Freddy: Oh! The previous song was so catchy! *beams*

Pip: *rolls his eyes playfully* We know. You've been singing it non-stop! *immediately closes Freddy's beak as the flamingo opens it to sing*

K.C.: Well, why don't we listen to the song?

+*+ SONG STARTS +*+

Proteins organic in all living things
Some find them here-meat and fish and eggs
Sugar/starchy foods-carbohydrates
In the plants, fruits, and vegetables-high sugar content

K.C.: Oh no... Is this what I think it is? *eyes widen as her face scrunches up in slight alarm*

Freddy: Hey! This is nice! *starts bouncing his shoulders to the beat of the song*

Pip: So these are parodies... *raises his eyebrows at the Fly Pad with interest*

Amino acids
Linked along chemically forms a protein molecule
And carbohydrates
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen makes sugar and starches too
Nucleic acids DNA and RNA both important inside of you
And then there's lipids
Fats and oils are lipids storing energy for later use

K.C.: *painful groan* Remember what I said about prefering minerals over polymers and monomers?

Freddy: *isn't really paying attention to the song anymore and just swaying side to side*

Pip: Is this still autotune...? *tries to get closer to the Fly Pad to hear more clearly*

Lipids are oils, waxes, and the fats
Contains more energy than is found in plants
Nucleic acids DNA info is passed RNA in you in the cytoplasm
And nucleus

K.C.: If there's anything in biology I really hate, it's cells and DNA... *frowns a little bit as she has flashbacks*

Freddy: Ignore the science! *flapping his wings along to the beat, but not really flying yet, afraid to land on another baby*

Pip: Was the last part permanently out of tune or...? *tilts his head, having never heard the original song before*

Amino acids
Linked along chemically forms a protein molecule
And carbohydrates
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen makes sugar and starches too
Nucleic acids DNA and RNA both important inside of you
And then there's lipids
Fats and oils are lipids storing energy for later use

K.C.: *bites her lip, a little unamused as she remembers studying these* While I don't like this aspect of biology, I still love biology way more than any other science *beams*

Freddy: Amino acids~ *song already stuck in his head as he moves his legs from one spot to another as well*

Pip: This is a good song, I'll have to admit *gives a small smile*

Chemical compounds-when elements
Chemical compounds-two or more combine
Chemical compounds-like water molecules
Chemical compounds-I said (let me tell you now)

K.C.: Ah... *releases a sigh of relief* The simpler aspects of chemical compounds...

Freddy: *seems to be violently punching the air with his wings*

Pip: The singing is also alright *nods his head absentmindedly*

Amino acids
Linked along chemically forms a protein molecule
And carbohydrates
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen makes sugar and starches too
Nucleic acids DNA and RNA both important inside of you
And then there's lipids
Fats and oils are lipids storing energy for later use

K.C.: *looks at the other two Junior Fliers* Now you see why I don't like organic chemistry and biochemistry?

Freddy: Huh, what? *was too busy dancing to the music to barely register a word K.C. said*

Pip: I mean, if we're learning through songs, I guess they're okay *shrugs with a small smile*

Nucleic acids DNA and RNA both important inside of you
And then there's lipids
Fats and oils are lipids storing energy for later use

K.C.: *rests her head on a thoughtful paw* Now that I think about it, this isn't nearly as bad as what I had to study before *shrugs*

Freddy: Can I get back to dancing? *doesn't wait for an answer and immediately starts dancing again*

Pip: Does this actually help animals learn? *raises his eyebrows curiously*

Chemical compounds-when elements
Chemical compounds-two or more combine
Chemical compounds-like water molecules
Chemical compounds-l said (let me tell you now)

K.C.: *sighs* If only all chemical compounds were as simple as dihydrogen-monoxides...

Freddy: *stops dancing and looks at the koala, tilting his head* What?!

Pip: I think she means water, Fredamingo *turns back to the video* Why do they keep repeating it?

Amino acids
Linked along chemically forms a protein molecule
And carbohydrates
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen makes sugar and starches too
Nucleic acids DNA and RNA both important inside of you
And then there's lipids

K.C.: This dare sure was interesting *gives a tight smile and says through gritten teeth* It definitely helped me relive some of my worst memories...

Freddy: This song is extremely great! *stops dancing and looks at his best buddy with a mischievous smirk* I'm definitely not going to keep singing it tomorrow!

Pip: *groans*
